Ep. 36: Antiques w/ Kamara

On this week’s (sans Joseph) episode of Silent Generation, Nathan is joined by his friend Kamara to discuss antiques. They talk about how they first got into antiques, the best antiques that they own, and the defining characteristics of several antique furniture styles (Victorian, Arts & Crafts Movement, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Mid-century Modern). Amongst other things they discuss how Victorian antiques and houses are construed as being haunted, how antiques seem to be most popular in rural areas, and how the antiques industry acts as a point of intergenerational exchange between different generations of gay men.    Links: Antiques Pinterest Board (Nathan’s antiques are at the bottom) A Lamp & Fixture Corp  Tighlman Chicago  Justanswer Antiques The Blue Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang  Campbell House Museum The Slav Epic by Alphonse Mucha THREATENED: Hector Guimard’s Art Nouveau Metra Entrance Restor-A-Finish Youtube demo The Roger Brown Study Collection   Artwork: Art Deco Cubist Armchair in Vermilion Mohair Velvet and Maple, Belgium, 1920s Recorded on 8/4/2024
